Only took two trades today as had to go out. Both losers I'm afraid but this was the big one for me looking back the aims seems so high I wonder why I took it at all, but it was a set up as I saw it at the time. Yellow is where I entered but it did look pretty good to me at the time

Hi Pete, we also took the same setup and exited quickly. nothing wrong with it, just that AO had peaked but was again close to ZL worth a try. it doe not fly ALL the time. the important point is to keep your negative trades which we prefer calling Rents as low as possible.

Nice trade, but a question if I may.

I was watching this, but had no time to place an order. Did you enter on immediate entry (sorry don't know technical terms)?

Hi because in this incident the whole set up had reverted to a no1 set-up I had bracketed and the rest is history. I bracketed because the purple line was in intergral part of the aims and entwined with the alligator lines. Its vital to remember that you will not win all trades, its also vital that when it goes against you to cut your loss as soon as pos. yes it may recover but what the heck don't risk it. The next will more than make up for it.
